to the 1970s hits" When Will I see You Again" and" T. S. O. P. ( The Sound of Philadelphia)",the theme song of the television show Soul Train.
     The Three Degrees was formed in the early 1960s when Ms Pinkney joined with Shirley Porter and Linda
Turner. She was then still going to Overbrook High School in Philadelphia. For more than ten years, Ms Pinkney was the one who kept staying in a group whose members came and went. She sang on the group' s first single" Cee Baby", and on its 1970 hit " Maybe".
     The group ' s first two singles for Philadelphia Intemational," Dirty Ol' Man" and"I Didn ' t Know", were
small successes. But" T. S. O. P.", a mostly inStrumental piece, reached No. 1 on the pop charts (流行榜) in
1974." When Will I See You Again" which sold more than two million records reached No. 2 on the pop charts
that year.
     Their special singing made The Three Degrees very popular. The group performed with Engelbert
Humperdinck in Las Vegas; a performance in Manhattan ended up in the film The French Connection.
     After leaving The Three Degrees and recording a solo album,"One Degree" in 1979, Ms Pinkney studied at
Temple University and earned a master's degree (硕士学位) in human services at Lincoln University in
Pennsylvania in 1985. She began working as an assistant for the Medical College of Pennsylvania. She later did
the job of offering professional advice to the patients at United Behavioral Health.
     Ms Pinkney continued to sing."I travel with a special group. I do still love people and I love to make them
smile," she once said.
